It's believed that Beal's position has also been impacted by that of Westbrook in a dynamic that may closely mirror Westbrook's departure from Houston a year ago. When Russ got wind of Harden's dissatisfaction with HOU, Russpreempted his co-star and requested a trade first."

Further confirmation of Harden being possibly the worst player GM currently going.

Russ, lol, he is not making them better. Worse if anything. Beal and CP3 makes them better
And yet Harden had Paul and picks traded for Westbrook

Not hardens fault that russ got Covid and hurt himself.

Also not hardens fault that Chris got hurt one year and then played worse than Jason Terry and holiday and Middleton the next.

Neither one held up their end of the deal as a title worthy #2 while harden has been the best player on the court in every series for years now.

Elite players lift up their teammates.

At least that's the line you would give if the shoe were on the other foot for Jim.

Oh what happened to bron then when he lost to the suns, what happened to Steph when he didn’t make the playoffs. What happened to KD. What happened to lillard? What about jokic, what happened to him?

Have you had enough yet Bubba?

Let's not use all stars as a marker of meaning much. Because not all Allstars are crated equal. Nobody is gonna call Middleton and holiday anywhere close to curry, Harden, Thompson, Durant, etc.

Giannis went supernova in game 6, dude had the definition of a complete game when his co-star played abysmal.

Curry Harden and Durant are all MVPs. Quite the over exaggeration.

Giannas had great players on his team. To pretend he did it by himself is laughable

I'm just saying what your super predictable "argument" would be if the shoe were on the other foot.

How are you not exhausted from this shtick? I'm sick of just reading it. It's boring as frick.

If a player wins with an inferior cast it IS proof of making their teammates better. I am not sure what you are trying to do here. A player can also “make his teammates better” and still lose. It is like kindergarten in here sometimes

harden has a better on off than lebron in the playoffs. No team gets whooped more when they are “off” the court than harden. Admittedly I have overrated his help. They haven’t come thru even once in the last half decade.

Harden has yet to elevate the team around him and get over the hump. The supporting cast and injury breaks just haven’t gone his way. Joining three other all-stars should finally get home over the hump.

Also, moving to the Eastern conference should help ease that burden

I'm not taking up for Lebron b/c I really don't care for him myself, but Middleton and Jrue aren't no slouch. Plus the Bucks have a damn good bench which is the deciding factor in a lot of games.

Won with a fellow all-star and an all-defensive first team guy.

If the Lakers can get Lowry, DeRozan, and two three point shooters to add to James, Davis, KCP, and THT they will be favored to go all the way.

Could do a sign and trade of DeRozan for Kuzma

Sign and trade of Lowry for Schroeder

Then move Harrell for a perimeter scorer and use the mid-level exception for a fi al piece.

Just put an asterisk by LeBron’s name. He’s the biggest bitch, soy boy in NBA history and can’t win w/o colluding with the league!

If any player deserves an asterisk it's MJ.

Won all his titles once the league went from 24 teams to 30.

Couldn't even beat Larry Bird in a single playoff game then the league watered down all the competition so he could dominate unathletic 6'0" white guys.
